I've previously owned a 2000 9-5 Aero and a 2002 9-5 Aero, and I miss them greatly. Before these cars age into obscurity, I'd like to buy a 2007/2008/2009 9-5 Aero, but residing in Texas that's proving very difficult to pull off. How the hell does one buy a car from halfway across the country? Without the ability to take it to the nearby Saab shop for an inspection, I don't know how to mitigate the risk of bad oil leaks or whatever else may be wrong with it. Any advice?

Does anyone happen to know anything about this car: 2008 9-5 Saab Aero? I really want a manual '08 9-5 Aero and this seems to be the only one in the US for sale right now, and it's about 800 miles away from me.

kimbo305 posted:Oh, the inspection also failed me for a broken reverse light, even though this gen 9-5 still only has one reverse lamp. What's the most official documentation I could give to the shop to demonstrate that? The manual isn't really that clear about it. The dame edna OG 9-5s also have 1 reverse light on the non-wagons. My inspector has never even mentioned it in 3 inspections, but not real sure he's noticed. Texas defers to the federal requirement on this, and the federal requirement is only 1 given it has certain visibility (look here and search for "backup lamp" if your state also defers to the federal requirement): https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2004-title49-vol5/xml/CFR-2004-title49-vol5-sec571-108.xml
